Painters Hills District

Each painting project is unique. Depending on the scope of work the estimator will discuss with you the projected start date and completion date of your project before work gets underway. However, the vast majority of our painting services Hills District are done on time without any delay in the project. At Brushworks Painting & Maintenance P/L, our painters have many years of experience in handling small to large projects, so you can have peace of mind that you are in the hands of experts.

A couple of factors affect this decision and they are:

• Stain jobs are two coats unless you insist on just one and the wood isn’t very dry.
• If the color is going to change dramatically then we use 2 coats of exterior paint.
• If you are using the same color or just a shade off then one coat of each will cover just fine.

We occasionally will apply two coats on the sunny side of the house and one elsewhere but normally we encourage you to use two coats. When we paint over aluminum or vinyl siding, our painters in Hills District always paint two light coats.

Maintenance cleaning is vital to the overall service life of a painted surface. However, when selecting a cleaner, be sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner. If cleaning a waterborne paint, avoid products that are ammoniated. Mild, soapy water will generally suffice. However, always test the cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not damage the paint film. You can contact our house painters Hills District for more details on cleaning and maintaining your painted surface.

It depends on the climate, sun exposure and the paint surface itself. If you have good prep, proper slow-drying primer, good sanding and caulking, no rot, a good moisture barrier and no gutter issues then high-end paint (which is all we use) should last about 8-10 years. Stains are a bit trickier to judge, it depends on the amount of sun exposure, climate and how dark the stain is but it can last anywhere from 4 years up to 12 years.

A good rule is 4 to 6 weeks prior to the date you want your paint job completed by. During the busy season, it is best to schedule earlier with our painters in Hills District. Booking 4 to 8 weeks in advance is recommended during the peak months. Length of time varies to get on schedule and during extremely busy periods, wait times may be even longer.  Also scheduling early gives you extra time to decide on your painting color choices.
